"The liberals would have done it" is a flimsy excuse. Obama and the government are NOT responsible for the mistakes of a company, especially one profitable enough to cover the costs. But that company is desperately delving into politics hoping that in the desperation for blame and the dislike of Democrats, they can sway popular opinion to hold government responsible and charge the taxpayer.

I guess Tinsley doesn't realize that the Bush administration IS largely responsible for this disaster due to their ultra-deregulaion policies. Who am I kidding? Tinsley would never let the facts get in the way of a lame rant!

And here I thought Mallard had had an "on the road to Damascus" conversion and was going to criticize the Teabaggers -- since they have ACTUALLY said those thing (or scribbled a misspelled version of them on their posters).

Silly me. I should have realized that this strip, as with most of his others, is just about his delusions and how they make him feel (angry, usually).

I agree with you guys, but what most galls me about this comic is the implied support of censorship. Tinsley is saying that anything potentially unpleasant, or upsetting should be kept away from children. Children know about these things, and broadcasters should have the right to say what they want. Censorship leads to bastardization, demolished rights, and boring shit in the media.

Why does this new spell-check feature not accept the word Tinsley? This is like the website of a Psychiatric study of extreme retardation, and Narcissistic Sociopathy not accepting the word Tinsley! (Note: Sociopathy is not accepted, either; dictionary.com disagrees.)

Translation: "Why aren't the rest of you assholes screaming for that goddamn darkie's blood?!?"

Brucie, Brucie, Brucie. Why are you still trying to impress George W. Bush like this? He's been out of office for a year and a half now; you're just embarrassing yourself by continuing to send him these love letters. It may be painful for you to hear, but I'm telling you for your own good: He never really loved you. No, Brucie. No, he didn't. You're going to have to accept it. No, he didn't, Brucie. In fact, he probably never even knew who you are in the first place. Hey, now, c'mon -- take that gun out of your mouth.

Meanwhile, readers at home can do a simple exercise to make this strip more accurate: Just substitute "Al Gore" for "George Bush", "9/11" for "Gulf oil spill", and "read 'Mallard Fillmore'" for "watch 'The View'".

Make no mistake, we;ll be seeing a "OBAMA HATES THE SCOUTS!" in a about three weeks.As a former scout, (well, Weebelo, but meh) I couldn't effing care less.

Bit on topic re today: Two things.A: Is your memory so short that you don't even remember what your favorite propaganda channel has been saying for months?B: If this happened under Bush, we'd be getting an earful about how it's, "not prudent" and "irresponsible" to make BP pay for the clean up. Then DP would have gotten a tax cut and a $50b bailout (remember, this was back when deficits didn't matter). And the news would be blaming liberals for trying to politicize it.
